Bell grants a district attorney and several state investigators’ motions to dismiss allegations that they abused their power in an investigation into a stolen diamond ring brought by a woman’s then-boyfriend. The woman filed an insurance claim for the ring, although her former boyfriend claimed to have no tie to the claim and said she had sold him the ring. The DA and investigators ultimately found the ring in a “green origami bag” at the boyfriend’s residence. He was unhappy with how the investigation was handled and asked a former governor to intervene on his behalf, which he did. The boyfriend also hired a lawyer to recover the ring and someone to ghostwrite a book about this experience with the criminal justice system. According to the boyfriend, this is when the DA threatened to prosecute him. All of the boyfriend’s claims fail under sovereign, prosecutorial, public official and qualified immunity. The DA and the state investigators did not act maliciously nor outside of their professional roles.
